Doesnt have to be anything snobby. Looking for music you could put to footage for 'emotional effect.' Think Tom Clancy 'war' movie type stuff.
Any recommendations?

Ride of the Valkryes - Strauss
1812 Overture - Tchaikovsky
William Tell Overture - Rossini
-
Obvious answer is Holst: The Planets, Mars; Bringer of War
Tchikovsky's 1812 was written about war, i.e. Napoleon's Russia retreat, and features cannon fire.
Of course if you want really good music, anything by Hank.

That may have been Wagner.

It was Wagner. Richard to be exact.

correction...R Wagner..thx

Thinking that sometimes music going against type is effective.
There was a series in Discovery Wings about the Luftwaffe I think narrated by Peter Ustinov. While he described the aircraft, the attack strategy, and the carnage softly in the background played Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

All of the above recommendations are great. You might add -
[list=1]
- Dukas: Sorcerer's apprentice
- Mussorgsky: Night on Bald Mountain
- Stravinsky: Rites of Spring
- Ravel: Bolero
- Smetana: Moldau
- Shostakovich: Symphonies 4-9
- Runeberg/Pacius: Our Land (Vart land) - heh, the Soviets banned the playing of this piece. :) There are many versions.
- Smetana: Ma Vlast
- Most music composed betweeen Beethoven and Stravinsky is a candidate ...

"Pictures at an exhibition" also by Mussorgsky. Cool story behind it.
If you want something more modern;
Carmina Burana - Carl Orff
Anything by John Williams

Tom Clancy is such a hack. Try vilvaldi.

Perhaps, but the soundtrack for Red October has some good stuff.

I *think* he means Vivaldi. Stabby's such a hack it's hard to be sure.
-
Try the Overture of Nabucco, by Verdi.

I've always thought that Mozart's overture to "The Magic Flute" would make an awesome soundtrack to a flight video. SRV's "Wham" would be good for a dogfight.
-
That's 'Vog-ner'.....:D Don't you have an couth???
-
Dvorshak, or however you spell the name that sounds like "divorce Jack"
There are some good suggestions above as well.
